Chelsea Berg and boyfriend Christopher Alexander charged with Capital Murder
Has anyone been following this case? Do you think Chelsea will end up convicted of a lesser charge, or is the death penalty likely? Her ex-husband (Dawson’s father) posted this on Facebook yesterday:
My heart is extremely heavy but this is important that I notify the public before others speculate and speak for me. I want you guys to hear it directly from me as y’all have been on this journey along side me.
With great sorrow I come here today to notify the public that my son Dawson has passed away. He died on my birthday yesterday December 7th at 10:42am was his time of death. His gift to me was his final breath and we are now forever interlocked with my birth and his death. He held on to spend one last birthday with me and refused to go until then.
I also want to notify the public that Chelsea Berg (Dawson’s mom) has been taken into custody and has been charged with Capital Murder. She’s being charged at the highest degree due to her lack of effort in protecting our children. There will be a 6 page arrest affidavit that will become public with evidence of her involvement and this is why I’m coming out publicly now before others get their hands on it. What will come out absolutely breaks my heart all over again.
My son didn’t have to die, this could have been prevented. He should have been protected and now he was murdered. My THREE YEAR OLD MURDERED and I’m left carrying this and I don’t know where to go from here. I’m at a loss of words so please keep my daughter Harper and I in your prayers as I come up with a way to navigate all of this. I’m taking this day by day, decision by decision with no playbook on how to do life like this.
I’m 31 years old having to bury my three-year-old son and I obviously wasn’t prepared for this because we shouldn’t have to bury our children. I haven’t lost a family member, or a friend and now this is my first experience of death.
As always thank you to my friends, my family, even strangers coming to my aid to keep me on my feet.
Thank you to the district attorney‘s office, the judges, my attorney, The McKinney Police Department all helping find Justice for my Son. My biggest thank you is to all the medical staff that did everything they could and allowing me the opportunity to say goodbye to my son. Allowing me the opportunity to hold him as he took his final breath.
